Puget Power Trail in 2013


This gallery documents an overgrown section of the north-south portion of the Puget Power Trail in Kent, Washington. This portion of the trail lies on the west side of 64th Avenue South. All photos were taken between South 231st Street and the southern end of the trail. Thumbnail images are arranged from north to south.

Each photo has a "view map" link next to the location data, which leads to an aerial view of the area with icons representing the positions of photos. Clicking on an icon displays the associated photo or photos.

This information is provided so that appropriate departments in the Kent city government can understand the need for maintenance on the trail.

UPDATE ON 1 NOVEMBER 2013:
The most serious issues identified by the photos below have been resolved. Kent's Public Works Operations department cut back most of the branches and all the vines that hung down or exrtended into the trail's space. There is no longer any danger of getting stabbed by a blackberry vine and little need to watch where one steps. The low evergreen branches in the first photo still need to be cut.
